BOOKS

Hey, I've compliled a list of a few books for each of the decades we'll cover this summer. If you have any other ideas, please email me at klarinet_playa@hotmail.com. Some of the novels, like Carrie and Silence of the Lambs are more mature and would be appropriate for the older book discussions. Look these over, and have your preferences ready for the next meeting. Thanks, a lot! ~Kate
